[QUOTE="Gurdjieff, post: 634598, member: 2264"] Heh, in my opinion, the 3rd IR was great. And seeing the enthousiasm with which so many people posted they must have had a lot of fun as well. The rules were very clear and people really had influence with their actions. You really did a great job there and I don't think many people will be able to deny that, or even try to deny it. If you're serious about this, I'm 100% in again. Every once in a while we still talk about the 3rd IR in the IRC channel and if there ever will be a new IR. As for the first and second IR, I never played them, but I've read the archives. I think the freedom people had there was because it was new. It hadn't been done before, noone really had an experience on this scale of roleplaying and strategic thinking. People wanted to try it out, for it was new, and they shared their ideas with others. Looking at the 3rd IR, it was even bigger than the first and second, and most of the people who played read or competed in the other IRs. There needed to be rules to keep people from going total anarchy and that's what kept freedom small. However, even though freedom was kept within borders, it was enough for most of us. Think of The Forsaken One with his Diadem, Sollir with his evil, hidden for a long time and of course Melkor who made great plans which I still don't know all. In the 3rd IR, IMO, there was enough freedom. But hey, that's me. =] Whatever you think Edena, you did a great job on all the IRs. We all had a lot of fun playing in them or reading them, or even both. You certainly never screwed it up. =]. [/QUOTE]
